I've been trying to do something similar to madmatt's dtop but when i went to add the html to the dtop my wallpaper disappeared and the html didn't show up. I tried adding a picture to the dtop and the same thing happened.
The above works fine in ME, just not XP. Any ideas, what could be wrong?
 
You would need to make the background image apart of your HTML document, i.e. <body background="FILE">
 
Tried that, still no good, even when there's no background.
 
Just in case anyone was wondering, I found the problem. It seems that unchecking 'Show Desktop Icons' has cleared up my little problem.
 
Really? Now that is truly weird. And here I thought that I would have to code up some VBSCRIPT/ActiveX to make it work correctly. Glad you got it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
